"Hey, that's my queue", thought the Innkeeper as he heard the rumble of thunder. He stepped out the front door of his inn and called over to the Wanderer. "You best get out of that weather before it's the death of you."
The Wanderer looked over and wondered why he hadn't seen the inn before. It was an old building, blending in with the landscape. It was nestled into a small hill by the crossroads on the outskirts of town. It looked like it hadn't seen a guest in decades, but with the rain about to start, he had little choice. Besides, it had a cozy look to it. He hustled quickly inside to the beckoning Innkeeper. "I've got two available rooms. One is in back, next to the kitchen, and the other is upstairs with a view of the town. The upstairs room is nicer, but I warn you, the other guest upstairs is a bit peculiar. You may be more comfortable near the kitchen. But where are my manners? You must have a mighty thirst, wandering that dusty road. Can I get you some ale?" |

Is it too late to be cast as The Knight?

The Wanderer, while stomping the dust from his boots, replied, "Ale would be wonderful along with a little bite of bread for a hungry traveler."
The Innkeeper harshly called to the Tart working in the cramped kitchen in the next room. "Tart, bring out some of the finest bread along with a leg of the freshest prepared turkey, and be quick about it!" The Tart hurridedly prepared the meal and entered the Inn to serve the worn Wanderer his hot dish of food. "What do you I owe you for this fine plate of food?" asked the Wanderer. "Just two bits and a story of your travels." responded the Tart who was desperate for kind conversation.

Just checking in as the Visitors (literally!)...
Two Visitors to the area were also in the bar. They looked at the Wanderer curiously, as well. "Do you mind if we listen to your tale, as well?" they enquired. "We are in urgent need of information".

The loyal dog lifts it's head and sniffs the air, as it is coiled neatly by the fire. Then it lets out a an unsure, low, growl. Then raises to it's hindquarters swiftly to go inspect a mysterious smell by the front of the door. Woof! Woof it cries, and anxiously wags it's tail. Something unusual is approaching but the dog can not tell what....No one in the inn pays attention to the dog and passes the howling off, still trying to concentrate on the visitors story.

The Wanderer draws on the ale and begins.
"Perhaps you know of the Rhythmical Knight?" The Visitors gasp. The Loyal Dog twitches an ear. The Tart freezes silently. "I see you have heard of Sir Joe the Regular. I knew him long ago." The Wanderer gives a distant smile, then looks sad. "I have word from him, bidding me meet him in this village of Red Rock, at the first full moon after midsummers. I know not what, but strange deeds are afoot." The Visitors shift uneasily. "Now let me tell you about the cow..." he begins, but the others barely have time to look startled by that, when the Loyal Dog sets up a furious barking that cannot be ignored.

The Two Visitors stare in undisguised alarm as the Loyal Dog's barking reaches a crescendo ...

Then the gravdigr--I mean--gravedigger walked in the door. Everyone gasped and looked away hurriedly. Except the visitors, who looked around questioningly. "Don't look 'im in the eye!" said the innnkeeper. "He's half-crazed and unpredictable as all hell." "What made him this way?" asked one of the visitors. The innkeeper replied "He was on some website and was driven completely, totally insane whilst reading the story of someone who had been bitten by a capybara..."
